Progress report

In case there is any concern that the pace of work has slowed - fear not! We just LIKE working in the cold... To be fair, we all have busy lives and even if we admit to our therapists that we'd rather be sailing, 'making it so' is another matter entirely.

The list of tasks accomplished is however impressive:
* We have acquired copies of Cook's maps of the St. Lawrence ( see detail above)
* We have installed two new planks and filled all but a handful of the plug holes.
* We have repaired the cabin tops and are preparing to canvas them in the traditional manner
* We have concluded negotiations for the Halifax Tall Ship Challenge 2007
* We have a plan right through to 2009
* We have roughed out a topmast and will shortly be considering the rigging and sails
* We are officially a non-profit association
* We have a web-site: revenante.com

The work will continue through the winter. We now have some wonderful images from Revenante's previous life as Amanda, and contact with her owners from that time, which will help the refit immensely.

Stay tuned!
